<p>When attempting to sign a public key in the GPG Keychain using a private key that is stored on a Yubikey 4 I get the following error:<br>
Sign userID failed!<br>
Code = 0</p>
<p>Error text:<br>
gpg: secret key parts are not available<br>
gpg: signing failed: Unusable secret key</p>
<p><strong>What did you expect instead</strong></p>
<p>I expected to be prompted for my Yubikey PIN and for the key to get signed.</p>
<p><strong>Describe steps leading to the problem.</strong></p>
<p>1) Attempt to sign a public key with my private key stored on a Yubikey 4<br>
2) Above error occurs</p></div>bogdrakonovtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/418043852017-02-09T15:19:18Z2017-02-09T15:19:23ZYubikey: Unable to sign other people's public keys in GPG Keychain (to be tested w gpg 2.1)<div><p>Same issue. cannot sign validity of other's public keys.</p></div>Peter Nöutag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/418043852017-06-15T10:53:43Z2017-06-22T20:46:03ZYubikey: Unable to sign other people's public keys in GPG Keychain (to be tested w gpg 2.1)<div><p>Hi bogdrakonov and Peter,</p>
<p>welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.</p>
<p>Please excuse the long silence. We think this issue may be resolved by switching to using gpg 2.1. We had hoped to have a GPG Suite with 2.1 ready a bit earlier, but now it's here.</p>
<p>GPG Suite 1922n and newer include gpg 2.1.</p>
<p>It would be great if you could test this build and let us know if run into any trouble. Please note, that downgrading to the current beta release will require additional steps in case new keys were created using this test build. Depending on the test results, gpg 2.1 may soon land in the beta branch.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Will this allow Yubikey 4 to sign other public keys even though the SC key is offline and not on the machine? The Yubikey 4 only contains the S, E, and A subkeys.</p></div>bogdrakonovtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/418043852017-06-22T00:55:00Z2017-06-22T00:55:26ZYubikey: Unable to sign other people's public keys in GPG Keychain (to be tested w gpg 2.1)<div><p>Oh your link just redirects to the main page.</p></div>bogdrakonovtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/418043852017-06-22T20:47:19Z2017-06-22T20:47:19ZYubikey: Unable to sign other people's public keys in GPG Keychain (to be tested w gpg 2.1)<div><p>Hi bogdrakonov,</p>
<p>gpg 2.1 is now included in the nightly build which you can grab here:<br>
<a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/">https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/</a></p>
<p>Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>Could you test and see how Yubikey behaves in the scenario you are describing?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
